The Harvey S. Cohen Fellowship supports undergraduate economics majors at the University of Pittsburgh with interests in behavioral and experimental economics. Cohen Fellows receive paid research positions in the Pittsburgh Experimental Economics Laboratory (PEEL), where they assist with experiments, collaborate with faculty and graduate students, and engage in opportunities through BEDI. This fellowship is made possible through the generous donation of Harvey S. Cohen, a Pitt Economics alumnus and accomplished accountant.
